I always thought the 99's were rated a bit fast. In my area we had a 99 which rated, coincidently, 99. We were about 12 miles down course in Touche' on a distance race years ago. We were about to roll over the 99. They owed us over 30 seconds/mile. And...they'd actually started 5 minutes ahead of us. They saw us and "woke up". They made some adjustments and gradually pulled away from us.
Pretty boats. Would have been prettier behind Touche'. :) -- Dennis C.
